Very odd rim on cent ?

    Found this 1986 D and noticed the mixed color. But then noticed the rim. Could this happen while being minted or MD? Looks like a perfect cut all the way around and I don't see any MD cut marks. I'm guessing the obverse and reverse is either a bad mix or from a buffer?

    So it was cut to be placed in a bezel ?

    It wasn't cut, the pressure from the bezel disfigured the metal.
